Apple Mac OS X is supported only with 10400/10800, 7200/7400, and 7450 storage systems, running a minimum
3PAR OS version of 3.1.3.
5
Apple Mac OS X is supported only with B-series and C-series switches.
Configuration rules
Table 126 (page 250) describes HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage system SAN configuration rules.
NOTE: For information about 3PAR StoreServ FCoE target support, see the HP SPOCK 3PAR
FCoE configuration sets on the SPOCK website at http://www.hp.com/storage/spock. You must
sign up for an HP Passport to enable access.

DescriptionRulenumber
3PAR storage is supported in all Fibre Channel SAN fabric topology configurations described
in this guide.
1
3PAR storage can be configured in a SAN using the Fibre Channel switch models listed in
the HP 3PAR configuration sets available on SPOCK at http://www.hp.com/storage/spock.
You must sign up for an HP Passport to enable access.

see “Heterogeneous SAN storage system coexistence” (page 208).
3
A single server’s HBAs and multipath software for 3PAR storage systems are supported for
common access to other storage systems families as long as the HBAs are from the same
4
vendor. See “Zoning” (page 254). This applies to Windows 2003, Windows 2008 (incl.
R2), Windows 2012, ESX 4.x and 5.x, HPUX 11 v2 and later, Solaris 10 and later, AIX
5.3 and later, and Linux (RHEL 5.6 and later, RHEL 6.1 and later , SLES 10 SP4, SLES 11
SP1 and later). 3PAR OS version must be 3.1.1 or later.
1
Overlapping storage port zones are supported if multiple operating systems share an array
port. For more information, see the 3PAR operating systems implementation guides.
5
Use storage system LUN presentation to enable/disable LUN access to specific hosts. For
more information, see the 3PAR operating systems implementation guides.
6
All host table entries must have the operating system type parameter set (based on the
operating system accessing the assigned LUNs). For more information, see the 3PAR
operating systems implementation guides.
7
Servers that share access to the same storage LUN require special application software
(such as cluster software) to preserve data integrity.
8
Remote Copy and Peer Motion configuration rules still apply and require 1–to-1 zoning.9
The "Persistent Port" feature (introduced in 3PAR OS 3.1.2) requires the active target port
and partner port be connected to the same fabric. For more information, see the HP 3PAR

For Windows Server 2012, OS 3.1.1 (MU2) or later is required.
For information about configuring 3PAR storage using the 3PAR OS Management Console, see
the HP 3PAR OS Management Console User's Guide.
Configuration parameters
For information about 3PAR configuration parameters, including maximum server connectivity, see
the 3PAR OS configuration sets on the SPOCK website at http://www.hp.com/storage/spock.
